Patient:I want you to do something about my doctor.
Administrator
uch as?
Patient:He's not good enough.
Administrator:What do you mean not good enough?
Patient:He's not what I expected.
Administrator:This is the NHS. You have a doctor. What more could you ask for?
Patient
ne that I can understand.
Administrator:May I ask what you expected in an NHS hospital? Single sex wards? Free television? Immediate access to a consultant?
Patient
on't be silly. I expect to be able to communicate with my doctor.
Administrator:You can communicate with him. He's here and he speaks a bit of English.
Patient:But not the bits that he needs to know.
Administrator:Well, then, may I suggest you move to a private hospital with 100% English speaking doctors.
Patient:What?
Administrator:Nothing.
Patient:I am not satisfied. I tell him that I can 'pinch an inch' because I've gained so much weight because of the medication that he's put me on and all he's done is give me this.
Administrator: These tablets? What's the problem?
Patient:They're anti-histamine.
Doctor (Cod spanish): She said she had an itch so I give tablets to stop.
Patient:What is the matter with him?
Administrator: He's from Barcelona.
